In summer 2015, Persil launched the world’s first interactive downloadable Roald Dahl story, inviting children and their parents to take their tablets and smart phones outside and get messy having fun with Roald Dahl characters. I worked with Persil’s team and internal colleagues to create the three downloadable story options, as well as on the integrated marketing campaign. This partnership resulted in 200,000 new contacts for the RoaldDahl.com email database.

In the month after launch, traffic to RoaldDahl.com increased by 95%.
